I genuinely do not understand why I am not more dysphoric, and my lack of dysphoria is genuinely distressing to me.Basically everything about my body and self screams that I am male. I have huge hands, huge shoulders, a huge head, a very deep voice, a pronounced browridge, a huge forehead, a long midface, a massive torso, a visible Adam's apple, and so on and so forth, yet I barely feel anything. I really feel like all of them should feel explicitly wrong and distressing, but I'm just not phased by them, even though I definitely should be. This lack of explicit dysphoria is most distressing because I feel like it implies that I actually somehow like whatI currently have, and I really don't want that to be the case. It all makes me feel like I'm in denial of being cis man, which is a genuinely dreadful thought, but I simply can't let go of it, and it makes me doubt everything I do. Is there any good way to overcome such thoughts?
That just sounds like dysphoria to me tbhon
>>42302881disassociation. it happened to me pre hrt for years while i was repping, and still sometimes now as a defence mechanism against crying while looking in the mirror so often
>>42303123I already am on hrt though, and I can't bring myself to feel anything more unfortunately. The thought that I'm transitioning for no reason is genuinely nightmarish
>>42306170Just be happy you're not severely dysphoric ffs
>>42306292I'm trying, and rationally I am glad, but it just very much feels like it shouldn't be this way
>>42302881this is how i feel i think but i just see it as dissassociation, its not possible for you to feel raw pain about the same thing over and over, you just know it bothers you but you cant feel it anymore
>>42306502I really hope that's the case, and I also really hope I'll be abke to find a way out of this purgatory
>>42302881Many people exaggerate their dysphoria to appear more trutrans. If the fact that you're not as severely dysphoric is bothering you, you're certainly dysphoric enough to benefit from transitioning
>>42307388I really do doubt that people exaggerate their dysphoria, but those who aren't severely dysphoric probably don't waste as much of their time posting on imageboards
>>42307998I think it just depends heavily on personality, like extroverted ppl are bound to be more dramatic and vocal
>>42308004Pretty sure most extroverted people would much rather spend their time being dramatic and vocal irl, and not on some mongolian basket weaving forum
